28mm French Consular Guard 1800

I'll get this out of the way straight off, these figures are Elite Old Guard figures which I have shaved the grenade badge off the top of the bearskin and painted over with the white cross. I didn't shave off the grenades on the corners of the cartridge box but left them on so that the unit can be portrayed as 1805 - 07 Old Guard (along with the appropriate flag) as you will see in the photographs to come. The unit can of course do without a flag and be a bog standard combined grenadier battalion to fit in with my later French for the period, so three for one. Some may say that the cut of the uniform was slightly different and of course they'd be right but better that that paint up three different units!

Haven't got a clue for what will be next so watch this space.

The battle of Louvain 1792.

A somewhat picture heavy post this week of the battle of Louvain 1792 a French Revolutionary encounter using my figures at the Border Reivers Wargames Society club a few weeks ago. I cheekily pinched Chris's photographs from the site but his camera skills are so much better than mine and I'm sure he won't mind.
In no particular order:

Thanks again Chris, it was a fairly close run thing but the French just pipped it.
